PBW May Meeting Details
• Tuesday, May 12, 2026
• Location: Lakeshore Regional Child Advocacy Center (LRCAC), 1817A N 8th St, Sheboygan
• Use the main entrance, to the left of Uptown Social
• Arrive: 5:30 p.m. for snacks and social
• Followed by presentation and tour of LRCAC
• Please RSVP by Friday, May 8th

Join us for an empowering night to learn about the services they provide to kids and families in our communities!

The LRCAC is a local nonprofit dedicated to supporting children who have experienced trauma, including sexual abuse, physical abuse, domestic violence, drug endangerment, and neglect. They work closely with law enforcement, the District Attorney’s Office, and Child Protective Services to conduct forensic interviews in a child-centered, trauma-informed environment. Their services extend throughout Sheboygan and the surrounding counties, and they also assist with state and federal child abuse investigations.

Their primary goal is to gather evidence while minimizing further trauma for the child. By providing this safe and supportive setting, they reduce the number of times a child must recount and relive their experiences. During interviews, their investigative partners observe remotely from a separate room, allowing the child to interact solely with their trained staff unless they request otherwise. These interviews often serve as key evidence in protecting children and prosecuting offenders. Their forensic interviewers are also frequently subpoenaed and can provide expert testimony in court.

An Evening of Honor and Gratitude | Plymouth Professional Business Women’s Recognition Banquet

Together, we uplift, empower, and build a stronger community.

On Thursday, April 23rd, the Plymouth Professional Business Women (PBW) gathered for annual Recognition Banquet. Under the leadership of PBW President Michelle Manthey, we reflected on our 2025-2026 season and how PBW gave back to organizations in our area with proceeds from our Cheesehead Chase.

We discussed the upcoming Cheesehead Chase Plymouth WI on Saturday, July 11, 2026. This cherished event is the driving force behind the scholarships and donations we are honored to provide each year, fostering education and empowerment in our community.

The PBW Scholarship Committee, consisting of Deb Friederichs, Dr. Cindy Munson, Lisa Gottsacker, Kelly Bauters, Robin Lenhart, Megan Coranado, Amy Van Ess and Michelle Manthey reviewed our many applications and narrowed to four scholarship applications this year. We proudly awarded $2,000 scholarships to:
🎓 Macie Abraham
🎓 Ruby Lucksted
🎓 Addison Meyer
🎓 Sadie Pieterick

These outstanding scholars were recognized not only for their commitment to continued education but also for the heartfelt essays and applications that deeply resonated with our Scholarship Committee. We extend sincere gratitude to Amanda Kroener, Megan Corando, Robin Lenhart and Kelly Bauters for presenting insights into the applications to the audience.

Continuing our tradition of honoring extraordinary women, Michelle Manthey shared the selection criteria for PBW’s prestigious Woman of the Year award, a time-honored recognition dating back to 1994. This year, Tina L Schlichting, Director at The Schlichting Group, Baird Private Wealth Management nominated Megan Coronado as our 2026 Woman of the Year. The nomination letter was read by Pamela Grahl during the evening event. Here are a few extracts:

“Megan has become an increasingly active and influential presence in her community. She has been sought out to serve on various boards, committees, and organizations including the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce, Plymouth Public Library Foundation, and the Sheboygan Estate Planning Council. Her involvement in PBW marked one of her early community engagements, further solidifying her commitment to contributing to local initiatives.

Megan exemplifies the qualities of Woman of the Year: professionalism, integrity, leadership, community engagement and unwavering dedication to others. I am confident that her continued achievements will reflect the same excellence she has consistently demonstrated throughout her career.” – Tina Schlichting

Thank you to all who attended this event and to Amore for the delicious food and to Allechant Boutique for the amazing gifts for our recipients.

Apologies for the late post but wanted to share on March 10, 2026, Plymouth Professional Business Women met at Maggie's Closet; Fashion & Home Decor on Consignment.

We would like to extend a sincere thank you to Maggie’s Closet for hosting our March 10, 2026 Plymouth Professional Business Women’s meeting. Your insights on fashion and the “Rule of Thirds” in styling were both practical and inspiring.

The Rule of Thirds - Style with thirds, not halves
The most balanced outfits don’t split the body in half. Instead, they create a 1/3 + 2/3 proportion.

When your outfit breaks at the waist, hem, or layer:
•1/3 top + 2/3 bottom feels elongated and polished • 2/3 top + 1/3 bottom feels intentional and chic
•50/50 splits shorten the silhouette and feels unbalanced.
Think higher waists, cropped or tucked tops, longer bottoms, and clear vertical flow.

The way you broke down how to create balanced, flattering outfits with simple techniques was incredibly helpful, and everyone appreciated the tips we can immediately apply to our everyday wardrobes.

Thank you for sharing your expertise, your time, and your passion for helping women feel confident in how they present themselves. We truly appreciated having you with us and look forward to continuing to support Maggie’s Closet in our community.

Thank you to Paytn Blanke Photography for capturing headshots for those who attended our event.
